Xylynx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is there any plans to add voice chat to SWTOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamajawn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) /agree. I'm currently paying for a Vent subscription, but it's a PITA to try to get a group set up on it. DDO did an excellent job of integrating voice chat into the game. Edited January 19, 2012 by Bamajawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_waffle Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 People keep bring up Skype, which would work alright. But bad thing is you might have a hard time find people that use the same thing. Hopefully they will be able to add and in-game channel. Right now most of my guild uses Xbox Live to chat haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyMamaB Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My friends and I all use skype for a group phone call between the 5 of us, it runs in the background of the game and works PERFECTLY and is free and easy to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucentBeam Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We used to use Skype but after 1.1, there is buzzing in the background whenever the TOR window is open. Anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewiesArmy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I was gonna use Skype but I heard the only thing about Skype is that it is more resource heavy than vent or TS. There was also a problem when having more then 10 people; something to do with one person had to contact the other 9...like a conference call. An ingame voice chat would be great.

Kraka_ Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Yeah lets add something else for bioware to put bugs in. Id rather use vent and have bioware fix the bugs. But if they do, hope i can turn it off. Bunch of sreamn kids eeek Edited January 20, 2012 by Kraka_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yhor Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There are plenty of free alternatives. Mumble (can host your own server from your PC) Skype Raidcall There are also ways to host vent from your PC, but you can search that on your own... and I don't recommend it. Mumble is OpenSource as well, so if you can program, you can contribute to their project and make modifications that suit your needs. It's also very low latency and uses less resources than any of the other VoIP clients/servers. Great quality sound, imo, better than vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
